Question

The equilibrium constant is 8.8 x 102 at a particular temperature for the reaction:

H2(g) + I2(g) ? 2HI(g)



Use this information to decide what will happen, given the following sets of initial conditions:
Will the reaction shift to the left, to the right or will the system be at equilibrium?


right left equilibrium  PH2 = 0.47 torr, PI2 = 0.068 torr, PHI = 5.96 torr

right left equilibrium  A 2.0 L flask contains 1.21 mol H2, 0.079 mol I2 and 8.39 mol HI.

right left equilibrium  PH2 = 0.4875 torr,PI2 = 0.076 torr, PHI = 5.71 torr

right left equilibrium  A 1.0 L flask contains 0.0450 mol H2, 0.011 mol I2 and 0.66 mol HI.

Explanation / Answer

(i) Phi^2/ Ph2 * Pi2 = 5.96^2/(.47*.068) =1111.43 > Kp =880

therfore reaction shifts to left.

ii) [8.39/2]^2/[1.21/2]*[.079/2] = 736.39 < Kc =880

reaction shifts to right

iii) 5.71^2/(.4875*.076) = 880.00 = Kp

it is in equillibrium

iv) [.66]^2/ ([.045][.011]) = 880 = Kc

it is in equillibrium
